DACIA JOGGER 1.0 TCE 110 COMFORT

Breaks new ground for metalfor-the-money, family-car value and is packed full of versatility. Cheery, likeable and capable. ★★★★★ £16,595 109bhp, 148lb ft 11.2sec, 114mph 130-131g/km, 47.1-49.6mpg

CITROEN BERLINGO 1.2T FEEL XL

Petrol version is technically no longer part of UK range but may still be in dealer stock. Worth seeking out. Super-practical. ★★★★★ £23,860 109bhp, 151lb ft 12.1sec, 108mph 150g/km, 38.4-45.8mpg

VOLKSWAGEN CADDY SWB 1.5 TSI 7-SEATER

Unlike the Citroën, this commercial-based seven-seater can still be had with an ICE. Dacia makes it look seriously pricey. ★★★★★ £26,999 113bhp, 162lb ft 11.9sec, 112mph 147g/km, 43.5mpg

SKODA SCALA 1.0 TSI 110 SE

Like the Jogger, uses supermini platform to larger effect. Not nearly as spacious, but if you need only a bog-standard hatch, it’s passable and cheap. ★★★★★ £19,625 109bhp, 148lb ft 10.0sec, 126mph 119g/km, 50.4-53.3mpg

SSANGYONG TIVOLI 1.2 VENTURA

Can no longer be had in sevenseat form but has plenty of space for five. Boxy looks aren’t quite as appealing as Jogger’s. ★★★★★ £17,595 127bhp, 170lb ft tbc, 112mph 158g/km, 40.4mpg
